Its been a long time .. this story is timeless well written and shows the talent of the author ...
thank you for your skill and talent ... Rone Welles

I applaud your skills as an author, as I am usualy disappointed by some people's work I have had the misfortune of reading.  I would also like to applaud your description of the gore during the attempted murder scene.  It was a great read and I am sincerly hoping to read other great stories by you.

A real surprise here: a fun prank, a nice CD story...& then a nasty
twist toward the end that made the story as a whole pretty grim.
Well done, however.  Just one minor cavil: the official in a school
is the principAL, not the principLE. When I was in high school,
they told us that a principLE was a ruLE, while the princiPAL was
your (get this!) PAL.  (Well, ours wasn't too bad, actually.)

Well, You Really Did It "This Time"! Thank you for a good read. It is a definite Keeper. The story held my attention and provided me with interesting characters; although three characters with alcoholic problems seems a triffle frequent, even for Texas. Your skills with "This Time", have caused me to look up more of your previous work and give it a read. I couldn't ask for more.
Thank you, Another Brian.

 I thank you for this story!!!!  I only ask why the scene of injury had to be so brutal?  I enjoyed ever part of the storyline but was slightly disturbed by it's graphic nature..  I again thank you and hope to read more beautiful stories such as this

I enjoyed your story. I smiled and had some water in my eyes.
hugs, Fran
